A Georgia lottery player tried their luck and netted a big jackpot prize.

The lucky winner hit the Fantasy 5 jackpot, winning $183,790 in the drawing Tuesday, July 22, according to the Georgia Lottery’s website.

The ticket, sold in Toccoa, matched all five winning numbers.

It’s the second Fantasy 5 jackpot win in a week, coming three days after someone won $865,050 on a ticket sold at a Publix Super Market in Savannah.

Officials didn’t say if the latest winner had come forward as of July 23.

McClatchy News reached out to the Georgia Lottery for more information on Wednesday and was awaiting a response.

The winning Fantasy 5 numbers were 7-13-20-31-32, results show. The lucky player beat odds of 1 in 850,668 to win the top prize, according to the lottery.

Winners in Georgia have 180 days from the draw date to claim prizes and are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket, the lottery’s website says.

Toccoa is about a 90-mile drive northeast from downtown Atlanta.

Many people can gamble or play games of chance without harm. However, for some, gambling is an addiction that can ruin lives and families.

If you or a loved one shows signs of gambling addiction, you can seek help by calling the national gambling hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visiting the National Council on Problem Gambling website.
